SECTION C – CONFIGURATION CONTROL: ANSI/EIA-649 (NAVY STOCK CLASS 1377)

(APR 2017)

1. Configuration Control - The Contractor shall maintain the total equipment baseline configuration. For items of proprietary design, Contractor drawings showing the latest assembly configuration shall be provided to the

Government in electronic format.

2. Variances – Requests for Variance (RFV) - RFVs shall be designated as Critical, Major, or Minor. RFVs shall be in Contractor format and shall include information outlined in ANSI/EIA-649 section 5.3.4.1 and SAE-EIA-649-1 section 3.3.2. DD Form 1694is the preferred format for RFV submissions.

Note: A copy of the preferred RFV Form DD Form 1694 is available at:

http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/forms/dd/ddforms1500-1999.htm

Additional guidance for completion of RFV can be found at the Attachment “Request for Variance Form 1694

Additional Guidance Rev NA”. This attachment is incorporated by reference with the same force and effect as if contained herein.

The Contractor's assigned RFV number shall use the following numbering format:

a. The last four alpha-numeric characters of the contract number followed by a dash (-).

b. The letter "D", followed by consecutively assigned numeric characters beginning with 001.

Definitions: (See ANSI/EIA 649 and MIL-HDBK-61A for additional guidance on critical, major and minor classifications.)

Critical: Critical variances impact safety, health, environment, or other critical requirement. A departure from a requirement classified as critical in configuration documentation.

Major: Major variances have significant impacts such as performance or operational limits, structural strength, interchangeability, reliability, survivability, maintainability, durability of the item or repair parts, supportability, cost, effective use or operation, weight or size, or appearance. A departure from a requirement classified as major in configuration documentation.

Minor: Minor variances are issued when departure does not involve any of the factors listed for critical or major variance. Minor variances have little or no impact and are generally associated with non-functional factory defects that can be dispositioned locally as: “use as is” or “after suitable repair.” A departure from a requirement classified as minor in configuration documentation.

3. Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) - The Government will maintain configuration control and change authority for all modifications or changes affecting form, fit, function, or interface parameters of the Equipment and its sub-assemblies. ECPs shall be designated as Major (Class I) or Minor (Class II). ECPs shall be prepared in Contractor format and shall include information outlined in ANSI/EIA-649 section 5.3.1.4. The use of DD Form 1692 is acceptable form for ECP submissions. MIL-HDBK-61 provides additional guidance for preparation of ECPs.

The Contractor's assigned ECP number shall use the following numbering format:

a. The last four alpha-numeric characters of the contract number followed by a dash (-).

b. The letters "ECP", followed by consecutively assigned numeric characters beginning with 001.

Definitions: (See ANSI/EIA 649 and MIL-HDBK-61A for additional guidance on Major (Class I) and Minor (Class

II) classifications.)

a. A change that affects specified and approved requirements for product attributes, including safety, reliability, and supportability.

b. A change, after establishment of the product baseline, that affects compatibility with interfacing products, including such products as test equipment, support equipment, software, and products furnished by a customer or that affects one or more of the following::

- required calibration to the extent that product identification should be changed

- interchangeability or substitutability of replaceable products, assemblies, or components

- change to add a previously non-qualified supplier, where supplier selection is specified

- requires retrofit of delivered products

Minor(Class II): Affects configuration documentation (released design information), product or processes but does not affect Major Change Criteria.

4. ECP changes to Contractor drawings: Minor (Class II) and Major (Class I) ECP changes shall be approved by the

Navy Configuration Control Board CCB and technical approval authority prior to implementation. Contractors may use their own numbering format for ECP changes to Contractor drawings. Minor (Class II) ECP changes are defined as changes that do not affect the form, fit, or function. Minor (Class II) affects configuration documentation (released design information), product or processes but does not affect Major Change Criteria. Major (Class I) ECP changes are defined as changes that affect the form, fit, and/or function, and/or requirements, performance, interoperability, supportability, maintainability, cost, safety, addition of a vendor, or a vendor moves facility and the item has not been qualified at that site.

Definitions:

Government and at the Contractor’s sole cost and expense, the Contractor may be required, at the option of the Government, to submit an additional production lot test sample(s) for test. After each notification by the Contracting Officer to submit an additional production lot test sample(s), the Contractor shall - at no additional cost to the Government - make any necessary changes, modifications, or repairs to the production lot or the Government QAR may be required to select another test sample for testing. Such additional test sample(s) shall be furnished to the Government under the terms and conditions and within the time specified in the notification. The Government shall take action on this test sample(s) within sixty

(60) calendar days after receipt. The cost of each additional approval, and all costs and expenses related to such test(s) shall be borne solely by the Contractor. Retest Cost for Item 0001 is: $42,350.00. (NOTE:

Test costs are based on actual rates in effect at the time of issuance of the solicitation. In the event of a test failure, actual cost at the time of retest will be assessed.) The Government reserves the right to require an equitable decrease of the contract price for any extension of the delivery schedule necessitated by additional tests.

9. If the Contractor fails to deliver any production lot test sample(s) within the time or times specified, or if the

Contracting Officer disapproves any production lot test report(s), the contract may be deemed to have failed to make delivery within the meaning of the "Default" clause of this contract, and this contract may be subject to termination for default. In such an event, failure of the Government to terminate this contract for default shall not relieve the

Contractor of the responsibility to meet the delivery schedule for production quantities.

SECTION E – CAD/PAD INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE (APR 2017)

1. Inspection and acceptance shall be in accordance with MIL-DTL-85097E(OS) and MIL-DTL-85097/15A(OS).

2. The Government reserves the right to invoke the requirement for First Article Testing (FAT) if there is a change in process, facilities, materials, equipment, or production of the item; if two years or more have passed since the item was last manufactured, or if the item has developed a problem. Process is defined as the steps or tasks that are performed to create a product. Facilities is defined as location or buildings where the process(es) are performed to manufacture a product. Materials is defined as all the raw ingredients that are used in the manufacturing of the item.

Equipment is defined as all the tools used to manufacture a product. Production is defined as to make, manufacture, or create a product.

3. The Contractor shall provide and maintain a quality program acceptable to the Government and modeled on ISO

9001:2015or an equivalent quality system. If the quality program is not modeled on ISO 9001:2015 the offeror/prospective Contractor shall indicate the quality system proposed along with how it is equivalent, under separate letter submitted with the offer/proposal.

ISO 9001:2015Other

This quality system along with program specific production documentation shall be made available for review by the Government’s representative upon request, at the Contractor’s facility at no cost to the Government.

4. Due to the critical nature and safety application of these items, the Contractor and the QAR are cautioned that it is mandatory to ensure the correct identification and nomenclature are assigned for all items and shipping containers prior to shipment including CAGE codes. CAD/PAD Devices are exempt from MIL-STD-129 shelf life markings on packaging; however, they shall have a minimum of 85% of the shelf life remaining at time of delivery. Any delivery from a contractor not having at least 85% shelf-life remaining shall normally be considered non-conforming.

NOTE: The shelf life for CLIN 0001 is: 7 years and 0 months.

5. Radiographic equipment and procedures shall meet the standards stipulated in the latest revisions of the following specifications: ASTM E1742, ASTM E748, and ASTM E545.

6. Radiographers shall be qualified and certified level II or III in accordance with the requirements described in specification NAS 410.

7. In order to fulfill contractual requirements, the Contractor must submit acceptable radiographs. Radiographs should be reviewed by a Level II or Level III certified radiographer in accordance with NAS 410. Radiographs not conforming to the requirements specified herein will not be reviewed by NSWC IHEODTD. Disposition of non-conforming radiographs will be by mutual agreement of the parties.

8. Radiographic Test Technique (RTT) shall include variables which affect the exposure, such as x-ray source, kV or MeV (voltage), mA (current), SFD (Source to Film Distance), or SDD (Source to Detector Distance), exposure time, and film type/detector, and include a diagram or photo of the test setup.

9. Representative Quality Indicators (RQI) should be used on radiographic film or digital images for all CAD/PAD devices. The RQI (also known as a defect standard) contains a known defect (i.e. missing explosive charge, missing

O-rings, etc.) placed next to a good unit for comparison, to aid in interpretation. Radiographic test technique shall include RQI to be used and RQI placement. Propellant grains on PAD devices should be radiographed separately from the fully assembled unit. Image Quality Indicators (IQIs) on the radiographic film or digital image must also be used for radiographs of propellant grains for all PAD devices. The penetrameter to be used on the propellant grain radiographs must be made of Magnesium, which is radiographically similar to the propellant. The thickness of the penetrameter must be 2% of the total propellant thickness. The placement of the penetrameter(s) shall be on the part nearest the edge of the film cassette, at the outer edge of the cone of radiation. This allows for the measurement of the image quality or contract sensitivity at the area of maximum geometric sharpness. The penetrameter sensitivity must be 2-2T unless otherwise noted in the drawings or specification for the item being procured.

Radiographic Test Technique for X-rays and N-rays, as applicable, shall be submitted with the First Article Test

(FAT) samples to the activity cited below. If there is no FAT requirement, the radiographic test technique for X-rays and N-rays, as applicable, shall be submitted to the activity below as described in paragraphs 9a and 9b herein.

a. Radiographs of Production Lot Units shall include Lot Acceptance Testing (LAT) samples.

11. Radiographs may be produced using film (conventional x-ray), or non-film (digital) techniques such as Digital

Detector Array (DDA), or Computed Radiography (CR), with the understanding that the Contractor must be qualified and given prior approval to use digital radiography by NSWC IHEODTD. A qualification plan must be submitted to the Level III Radiographer at NSWC Indian Head EODTD for review prior to qualification of the digital x-ray system. Once the qualification plan has been reviewed and approved, the Level III Radiographer at

NSWC Indian Head EODTD will conduct a site visit (i.e. audit) to witness the qualification of the digital x-ray system. The results of the tests performed during the digital x-ray system qualification will be documented in a qualification document, which will be submitted to the Level III Radiographer at NSWC Indian Head EODTD. An official approval letter will then be issued by the Commanding Officer, NSWC Indian Head EODTD, which authorizes the use of the digital system. Follow up audits at regular intervals (i.e. annually) may be conducted to assure the long term stability and performance of the digital x-ray system. If digital radiographs are submitted, they shall be in the form of raw data that is Digital Imaging and Communication in Nondestructive Evaluation

(DICONDE) compliant. In addition to the raw DICONDE data, 16 bit Tagged Image Format (TIF) images of the digital radiographs must be submitted. The qualification of non-film techniques will be done IAW the latest versions of standards referenced in the latest version of ASTM E1742 (currently ASTM E1742/E1742M-12), such as ASTM

E2698 and ASTM E2737 (for the qualification of Digital Detector Array (DDA) detectors), or ASTM E2033 and

ASTM E2445 (for the qualification of Computed Radiography (CR) systems).

12. Notification of approval/rejection of the RTT shall be made by the Contracting Officer after receipt at NSWC

IHEODTD in iRAPT. Written notification of rejection will be provided by the Contracting Officer. Approval of the

RTT must be received prior to performing radiographic inspection of the production lot units. The Contractor shall then follow the approved technique to produce subsequent radiographs in accordance with the approved RTT. Any change in the approved radiographic technique or equipment requires submittal and approval of new RTT at the

Contractor's expense.

a. There is hereby created an option for the Government to waive the requirement for submission of a RTT. The

Contractor may only request a waiver for the submission of the RTT as long as the Cognizant Engineering

15. When undergoing radiographic inspection, each unit in the sample or lot shall be permanently serialized in consecutive numerical order per MIL-STD-1168 before radiographic inspection. Serial numbers shall not be repeated on items with the same part number regardless of changes in the lot number. The numbering shall be from left to right, top to bottom with the first item on the left of each row having the lowest serial number. All annotation must be represented using a method which leaves a permanent image on the film, such as placing lead letters on the film cassette or digital detector prior to each exposure. It is NOT acceptable to use adhesive labels, or to write annotation on the film using a marker or other writing instrument. Units that are missing on a radiograph must be indicated by identifying the serial number of the unit immediately preceding, and immediately following, the missing unit(s).

All units shall be arranged on trays or boards in consecutive numerical order. Radiographs shall reveal internal components. This may require using various techniques which may include multiple exposures, multiple speeds of film being loaded for each exposure, or additional orientation of unit(s) i.e. 0 degree and 90 degree exposures. Any discontinuities in the serial numbers displayed shall be clearly marked on the representative radiographic image.

Specific reasons for the missing serial number(s) and all rejects from the Contractor and QAR inspections prior to radiographic inspection shall be recorded on the radiographic inspection report as described in paragraph 11 and forwarded with the LAT sample. Row-unit-quantities shall be consistent except the ending row of the production lot, which may vary.
